BOSTON, Mass. - May 09, 2008 - Governor Deval Patrick is bringing casinos back to the table. He says his defeated proposal could return in some form, to ease the state's money woes.

Patrick resurrected the issue in the same week his most powerful casino critic has been facing speculation about his future at the State House.

Speaker Sal DiMasi is keeping a low profile, amid ethics questions and in the midst of lawmakers jockeying for his position. Here's WBUR's David Boeri with more on the story.
